Aluminum Foil IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely. To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2" (13 mm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges. Positioning Racks and Bakeware IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Racks ■■ Position racks before turning on the oven. ■■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them. ■■ Make sure racks are level. ■■ Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least 1/2" (13 mm) between pans and the broil element. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide for positioning racks.
